Theatres & Places

Our heart
The pride of the festival, the beautiful Draken at Järntorget, works as the
main theatre. Here you will also find the Information desk. During the festival
period the Information desk is opens every day at until the last film starts.
Here you can ask about rermaining tickets and other things. Please note that
the Information desk does not sell tickets.

Many of the other theatres are also situated close to Järntorget but you will
also find theatres close to Kungsportsavenyn and at Chalmers.
Here below you will find information about how to get to the different theatres
of Göteborg International Film Festival.

Find your way:

DRAKEN
Situated near Järntorget, the heart of the film festival.

HAGABION
Five minutes walk from Linnégatan from Järntorget,
you find Hagabion with its two screening rooms.

HANDELS AND CAPITOL
It takes 10-15 minutes to walk to any of these theatres from Järntorget.
From Hagakyrkan you walk up Sprängkullsgatan to Vasagatan if you're heading
for Handels. Continue to Skanstorget and Övre Husargatan if you're going to Capitol.

THE CITY LIBRARY (STADSBIBLIOTEKET)
Take tram number 3 or buses 760, 764 or 765 from Järntorget to Valand,
walk along Avenyn up towards Götaplatsen.

CHALMERS
The Festivals tram (number 6) with destination Kortedala will take you from
Järntorget to Chalmers in ten minutes.

AFTONSTJÄRNAN
Visiting, as well as getting to, this beautiful movie theatre is quite a Göteborg
experience. On weekdays the Älvsnabben ferry leaves twice an hour from pier
Rosenlund, just behind Folkets Hus, to Gamla Lindholmen. From there, a very
short walk takes you to Aftonstjärnan. As an alternative to the ferry, we also
strongly recommened bus number 16, from for example the Chalmers bus
stop or Domkyrkan. Get off at Sannegårdshamnen. On weekends, the bus
leaves four times an hour, on weekdays even more frequently. If you're lucky,
you get to travel by Sweden's longest bus!
